Do you have any plans to visit India? Are you looking for some pre-trip information on India? If so, you’ve arrived at the perfect spot! Here, we’ve compiled a few fascinating facts that demonstrate what an incredible place this is:

• Cows have a sacred status – India is arguably the only nation on earth where the common cow is worshipped and has attained a position equal to that of God. According to mythology, cows have been a feature of significant Indian rites since the 4th century BC.
• Regarding billionaires, the nation ranks third globally – it’s also worth noting that, according to Forbes’ 35th annual list of billionaires, India is home to the third-highest number of billionaires globally, behind the United States and China.
• The oldest cuisine known to mankind – it’s possible that Indian food has been constantly cooked for the longest time in human history. Of course, there are huge regional variations within the nation in what we refer to as “Indian food” at home.
• An Indian dish is a national favourite in Britain – one of Britain’s national foods, according to some, has surpassed fish and chips: chicken tikka masala. The tikka component of this popular curry originated roughly 5,000 years ago in India, despite differing opinions regarding its origins – whether it was invented in Glasgow in the 1970s by a Bangladeshi cook or was merely inspired by butter chicken.
